Long all day adventure
Monica_C
, Sep 2021
This tour group does an excellent job with the operational component of wrangling people from their hotels to a national park in the middle of the jungle. It was very organized and the guides were very professional and polite. There was some heavy up selling on the paid features of this park but you absolutely do not need to pay. You will have plenty to do with the free “included options” in your park admission. The food is not good but eating isn’t a priority when you are cliff jumping and swimming all day!

So many activities to choose from. Never far from a restroom, restaurant, bar or shower. Plenty of place to sit for a rest. Easy to navigate the park.

Xel-Ha—Mel-Ha
Todd_M
, Aug 2021
The park itself is worth the trip, snorkeling and the jungle were fun. There are lots of bars and eateries to choose from so lines are not too long. They offer different experiences for extra cost and they all seemed fun. However, the ride there and the number of people at the park was a bit much. You take one bus- which wasn’t too crowded and had good AC - to a large parking lot 45 min away, where you are unloaded like cattle, moved along colored lines and then herded onto another bus which was over crowded, hot and who cares if your traveling with someone you get the seat you get. An hour and a half later, after wanting to puke your guts out you finally make it. If you have family definitely a fun time at the park, as a couple looking to snorkel and relax… the screaming kids and drunks kind of put a damper on that. If you go, take a private shuttle— which is what we ended up doing to get back to Cancun-we recommend Welcome Shuttle, super fast, reliable and worth the $80!!

"Dear Visitor, We thank you for your visit and sharing your experience with us.Regarding the drive, it is important to remember that it is a shared transportation with a very precise logisitic that picks up and drop off our visitors at various hotels. From Cancun our buses make a stop at our transference center, where our staff ask our visitors to board the bus that goes directly to the park/tour they have scheduled for the day. Is is important to mention Xel Ha is an hour and a half from Cancun as it is close to Tulum. We hope to have you back at any of our parks soon.That being said, we'll take your comment into account to continue our improvement. Kindest Regards Gabriela S. Grupo Xcaret - B2B Customer Service

Do not go through Viator for excursions!
Hillary_G
, Jul 2021
The park was great, however the transportation through Viator was nothing but trouble. They wouldn’t accept our tickets and had to make an “exception” to let us on with the tour bus, even though the rest of our family who got their tickets on Viator at the same just a different order number because they paid with a different card we’re able to get on quickly. In order to save time and frustration for the next days excursion, I spoke with the tour guide who was adamant that she confirmed tomorrow’s transport for us and that there would be no issues. The next day, we were also denied entry on the tour bus because our tickets weren’t on their pick up list. I will never go through this site again. We had to pay to get a taxi which was expensive and unnecessary because we were supposed to have transport included with the tickets.
